The San Francisco Earthquake and ensuing fire cost the lives of roughly 3,000 people and $400M in damage - $80M attributed to the earthquake and $320M to the fire that burned 4.7 square miles of San Francisco in 1906.

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 resulted in an estimated 300 deaths and $200M in damage over 3.3 square miles.
